DC United vs Inter Miami Preview & Picks


Lionel Messi scored twice in Orlando last time out, and can fire Inter Miam to another victory here.

DC United were the worst team in MLS last season and dropped their season-opener, and things will not get much easier here.

  • Inter Miami are 3-1 in the last 4 meetings with DC United
  • Inter Miami are unbeaten in their last 5 games against DC United

Head To Head


  • The all-time series is tied at 4-4 with 3 draws
  • Inter Miami won 3-2 when the two teams last met in September 2025

DC United Form


DC United were the worst team in MLS last season, losing 18 matches and ending with a -36 goal difference.

Rene Weiler became the manager in July and won one of his 12 games in charge.

Tai Baribo fired United to a 1-0 win against Philadelphia Union on opening day, playing against 10 men for the final 30 minutes.

They failed to follow that up in their second outring of the season though, losing 1-0 at Austin last weekend.

Inter Miami Form


Inter Miami started their MLS title defence with a 3-0 defeat at Los Angeles FC - their first game without a goal since September.

They rebounded quickly though, as a 2-1 friendly win against Independiente del Valle warmed them up for a meeting with Orlando City.

Miami then took the Florida bragging rights as Lionel Messi struck twice in a 4-2 victory that saw inter come back from 2-0 down at half-time to win.

Verdict

DC United finished rock bottom last season and have been struggling to create chances in 2026.

Lionel Messi scored twice in Orlando and twice in his last match against DC United, and we are backing him to fire Miami to victory here.
